FROZEN VANILLA CUSTARD



Frozen Vanilla Custard image

American-style ice cream uses no eggs, but this is the French style--with eggs! It's rich and creamy and, although traditionally served soft in cones, I prefer to freeze it firm then scoop it.

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 large egg yolks
⅔ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt together until mixture changes from dark golden to pale yellow becomes fluffy.
  • Heat milk and cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. Cook just until mixture starts to simmer when little bubbles begin to appear on the surface, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk a ladleful of milk-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Add another ladleful and whisk thoroughly before adding the next (this will keep the eggs from cooking). Gradually add the remaining milk-cream mixture and whisk thoroughly. Whisk in vanilla. Cool completely (you can place the bowl in a larger bowl with ice water to cool it faster).
  • Pour cooled mixture into a pitcher; cover. Refrigerate until ice cold or overnight.
  • Pour custard mixture into ice cream maker and process (according to manufacturer's instructions) until custard reaches the consistency of soft ice cream, about 20 minutes. Quickly transfer to a plastic container. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the custard. Cover container and freeze until custard is firm enough to scoop, at least 3 hours.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE CUSTARD



Frozen Chocolate Custard image

I came up with this recipe after a lot of experimentation. I tried using as many methods as I could think of using different pots and heat settings. I even tried using a double boiler. Every time the result was curdled eggs. After a lot of research, I decided to try using the microwave. I can tell you that there is no other way to make custard! I've made several batches now and each one has been thick and smooth without and eggy taste. This is exactly the way custard should be and it makes for some great ice cream.

WAFFLES AND BACON FROZEN CUSTARD



Waffles and Bacon Frozen Custard image

Subtly sweet, with nutty, toasted hints from browned butter and flax meal, this frozen custard is creamy, a little crunchy, and just unusual enough to peak everyone's curiosity. It's also totally gluten-free, so celiac sufferers rejoice! It's a lot of work, but totally worth the effort once it's in your bowl.

Provided by Shlemar

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 10h51m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon flax seed meal
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
16 fluid ounces half-and-half
1 cup milk
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
3 slices thick-cut bacon
1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Place butter in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir until mostly melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flax meal and cinnamon; cook and stir until butter becomes a deep toasty brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour browned butter into a large heat-resistent bowl.
  • Mix half-and-half, milk, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together in a pot over medium-high heat. As the mixture approaches a boil, scoop out 1/4 cup and whisk it with egg yolks in a bowl. Repeat this 3 or 4 times until egg mixture is almost doubled in volume. Stir egg mixture into milk mixture; simmer until custard begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour custard through a strainer into the bowl with browned butter; stir until butter is incorporated. Cover bowl and refrigerate until completely cooled, 6 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Mix brown sugar and 1 tablespoon maple syrup together in a small bowl.
  • Place bacon on the wire rack on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip bacon and cook until about 2/3 cooked, 5 to 10 minutes more. Flip bacon again and baste the tops with brown sugar-syrup mixture; bake for 5 minutes. Flip bacon and baste the other side; bake for 5 minutes. Continue this process until bacon is crisp and coating has candied and all the brown sugar-syrup mixture is used, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Turn off oven and sprinkle sea salt over both sides of bacon; let sit for a few minutes in the oven. Chop bacon into bite-size pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup over the parchment paper, keeping the drops dime-size or smaller.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until drops are bubbling and height of each drop is less than half of it was in the beginning, about 1 hour. Cool on baking sheet until stiff yet slightly sticky.
  • Stir chilled custard and pour into ice cream maker; start churning. Start adding bacon bits, a few at a time, to churning custard about halfway through. Once the custard is getting thicker, add the syrup drops, 1 or 2 at a time to ensure they are evenly dispersed. Continue churning until custard is thick. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it sets, 2 to 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh milk, cream, and eggs will produce the best custard. Be sure to use vanilla extract and not vanilla flavoring, as the extract has a stronger flavor.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly before freezing: This will help prevent the custard from becoming icy. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Freeze the custard in a shallow container: This will help it freeze more quickly and evenly. A 9x13 inch pan is a good size.
  • Stir the custard every 30 minutes during freezing: This will help break up any ice crystals that form and keep the custard smooth. You can stir it with a spoon or a whisk.
  • Freeze the custard for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer you freeze it, the firmer it will become. If you want a softer custard, freeze it for a shorter amount of time.

Conclusion:

Frozen custard is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect frozen custard every time. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give frozen custard a try. You won't be disappointed!
